Get ready for the extraordinary journey of Pete Ripmaster, a regular man turned ultra-marathon champ through the transformative power of running and outdoor therapy. Pete completed the grueling 1000-mile Iditarod Trail Invitational 1000, winning it in 2018. His tale doesn't stop at the finish line. Pete's running adventure has led him to inspirational public speaking and a mission to accomplish an audacious new feat - to be the first person to run 100-mile races in every state!
Rippmaster's conversation is a testament to human resilience and the healing power of nature. Brace yourself for intimate accounts of his solitary journey, threading through the Alaskan wilderness, pushing his physical limits, and finding joy in unexpected places. More than a champion runner, Pete is a champion for mental health. Living through depression, he found solace in the outdoors and mindfulness, ultimately turning his battle into a platform for mental health advocacy, especially crucial in the pandemic-induced mental health crisis.
Pete's story is a beacon for anyone looking for motivation in the darkest corners. His life-altering experiences on the Iditarod 1000 and beyond are an encouraging call to confront challenges with grit and grace. From an outdoor enthusiast to a budding runner or anyone wrestling with mental health issues, Pete's story is a shining example of the triumph of the human spirit over adversity. Join us as we plunge into Pete's running adventures, mental health advocacy, and his ambitious dream to conquer the 100-mile races across the United States.
